Biznes Filmowy / Movie Business
A game for fans of films and cinema.
News that is news
Today, another creator's set update number 72, in which was added/modified 73 creators and 93 photos.
The largest contributors to this update are:
Additionally, I updated the parameters of some creators after lively discussions on Discord 🙂
The update will take place after launching a new game with the default set of creators (details can be found here).
After this update, the official set will contain 5359 creators.
For the next few weeks I will inaccessible, so if you decide to donations I will not be able to generate you a special code for donors. So I suggests holding off on such an action until I am available again.
Quite recently on Discord there was, once again, a discussion about randomness in the Movie Business. More specifically, some players have a problem with the game's overall assumptions about total randomness when it comes to judging the creators' performances in the film. I do not want to develop this topic again (as I mentioned it in the game manifesto Movie Business for Beginners), because I consider it to be the main mechanics of the game, which makes the Movie Business a unique production and has its own character.
However, I decided to give doubters the opportunity to experiment with this randomness and find out for yourself why turning off this element will negatively affect the long-term gameplay.
Well, in the 2022 Edition, donors will receive a new cheat code "I do not understand art", which will change one of the key algorithms of the game affecting randomness.
One of the new functionalities that will appear in the 2022 Edition is the ability to Dub animated characters.
Today another set update. Which contains 251 creators and 491 photos.
In addition to the creators you added, I made a few additional changes:
The largest contributors to this update are:
The update will take place after launching a new game with the default set of creators (details can be found here).
After this update, the official set will contain 5320 creators.
Some time ago, one of the players suggested that after winning an Oscar, it should bepossible to give an Oscar speech. In the new edition you will have this opportunity.
One of the proposals that has been scrolling among players for many years was the opportunity to hire an external screenwriter to create a script for you. In the next edition there will be such an option, although maybe in a slightly different form than some would like.
In the 2021 Edition, assistants will receive a new feature. Thanks to them, you will be able to send a proposal for a role, in your scenario, to a specific creator.
After I informed you that in the next version you will be able to add own monsters, I have received signals that you would also like to be able to add cult characters directly from the game. It is true that here the functionality is not so critical (cult characters can be easily added from MovieStats) but after thinking about it, I found that in total why not give you such an option as well.
Some players once asked me why there is no music in the game. The answer was pretty obvious as an indie game without a budget it was difficult to get enough music to use in the game. In addition, there would have to be a lot of it so that it would not get bored with players quickly during several hour-long sessions with the game. Another problem would be the variety of players' tastes. So in the end it was better to give it up completely.
Today, however, the possibilities are much greater.
I wanted to officially inform you that the work on 2021 Edition Movie Business 2 is already ongoing.
So if you have any ideas, it's the last moment to report them. And below you will find some more important information.
I have another set update for you today. It is so unusual that it has its own trailer…
This is it.
Yes, it adds to the set of creators characters from the iconic game CD Projekt RED Cyberpunk 2077.
In addition, some Asian artists from the Five Flavors Festival
You will find there 75 creators and 150 photos.
The update will take place after launching a new game with the default set of creators (details can be found here).
After this update, the official set will contain 4901 creators.
We have city to burn!
Today I have a new trailer for you… It’s all about movies
Do you like it?
The next update of the 2020 Edition is now available. This time, in addition to the correction of significant bugs, it also contains a few novelties. For details I invite you to the rest of the post.
Biznes Filmowy nie posiada opcji grania zdalnie przez sieć i nie ma jej w najbliższych planach, niemniej w ramach testowania edycji 2020 oraz ogólnoświatowej pandemii ostatnio testowałem grę ze znajomym używając zdalnego połączenie. Wykorzystaliśmy do tego darmowy (do użytku niekomercyjnego) program Teamviewer to connect to other computers. It not only allows you to share the screen but also transmits sound. It worked really well.
So if you have any friends with whom you would like to play Movie Business, and you do not have the opportunity to meet, then this is a pretty good option to play online.
P.S. Yes I know that you are already looking forward to the new version ... the tests are still ongoing it was hard… ale chyba już jest bliżej niż dalej 🙂
Today, about one more idea before witcher inspiration. When starting the game, the player does not have enough cash resources to afford all the creators. Therefore, it often has to rely on young creators, fictional characters generated by the game. I have received voices from you that sometimes there are too few such characters. So I decided to introduce an additional option of hiring scouts looking for new talent.
Player profiles are one of the important elements of the game that allows not only to store player progress, trophies or his statistics, but also allows the use of the MovieStats website, where, among others, you can add your own suggestions of creators who would like to be in the game. Due to the development and expansion of the game's functionality, it is necessary to re-creation of the profile from time to time. Until now, it was a bit embarrassing if we already had our data in MovieStats. Now this process will be slightly easier thanks to the possibility of creating a new profile in the game, based on the existing profile in MovieStats.
Currently, there is an option in the Movie Business called cult characters which allows you to change the photo of characters playing iconic roles in famous films. In the new version, I will expand the ability to modify the displayed photos of the creators… with monsters!
In the game we already have cult characters... this time it's time for cult vehicles ... What they are and how to get them.
It seems to me that the marketing element of the Movie Business is somewhat neglected by me. The game is not popular enough as it could be and one of the facts is its insufficient promotion, e.g. the lack of more video materials presenting the game or selected elements of the game in a more detailed way.
Cult scripts are screenplays in Movie Business based on real films and data about them from IMDB website. They were introduced to add some flavore and immersion. It was not intended to be available for purchase for players. One player suggested the idea that you could buy an iconic scenario. Although I'm not sure if this is a good idea, this possibility will appear in the next version of the game.
Some players pointed out to me that the game does not use the media aspect of Movie Business. Specifically, it was about contacting the press. In the new version, I will try to address this problem in the form of the possibility of organizing a press conference and interviews.
In the next edition of the game, you will see a new option to organize various kinds of events after the film's release.
It is high time to share with you the first information about the 2020 edition of the game. Today, a small revolution associated with photos of young talents.
